Engagement Picture Location

punkn

We are getting married in October and will be doing our engagement pictures in the next couple of months, doing them in the Milwaukee/Suburbs of Milwaukee area and I was hoping you gals could suggest some places to do them at. It does need to be a child friendly location as our daughter will be with us.

You'll have to forgive me for being slow, but are you looking for a place that will take your pictures, or are you looking for cool locations that your photographer can take your pictures?

I would shoot for Grant park or by the lake

(places to go to have them taken...we already found someone to take them)

We had ours taken in Lake Park.  There are some nice old bridges there, the grand staircase, a lighthouse, a statue that I think has some good words carved into it that fit into the whole marriage theme and, of course, the lake always makes a nice background.  It's very pretty there come late May/early June.

That's what I thought, and I had a whole reply typed out, but figured I'd make sure anyway

We had our engagement pictures taken at the St. Francis Seminary - they've got a gorgeous tree lined driveway that made for some really nice shots.  It's also pretty open, so your little girl could run around and play.

We got married downtown and had some pictures taken at Pere Marquette Park, and those turned out awesomely, too.  We walked around the area a little bit, too (reception was at the Hyatt) & got some cool urban-y shots.

I'd be happy to email you some if you're looking for ideas!

We had our wedding pics taken at Frame Park in Waukesha.....or Whitnal Park in Hales Corners...both would be pretty with spring time flowers and crab apple trees in bloom. 

The lakefront would be neat too....Lake Park, the Art Museum....

Depends on your style... The lakefront is always good. I did a photo shoot portfolio at Alterra and up Layfette Hill and Veterans park. Discovery World area is good to with the newer park. Anyways... enough parks.

 Are there any hobbies you do as a family? Flying kites, biking,  the zoo... those may be good locations

I'm drawing a blank right now, but...

You could check out the domes, those have really pretty flowers if you want to do something inside.  Or Holy Hill if you do them outside.

The art museum is gorgeous!!! Holy Hill in Hubertus is stunning. Another poster mentioned incorporating your hobbies. FI is a pilot so we are going to take wedding pics at the local airport in front of the leer jet. A little weird, but definately us.
